The course multimedia information aims to give an overview on multimedia information retrieval, multimedia databases and multimedia metadata. The course also took place in summer semester 2007. You can find a page and all the slides here.
Topics
Introduction, Motivation, Information Theory & Systems
Information Retrieval
Web based IR, PageRank, HITS
Network Analysis & Social Networks (Guest Lecture)
Multimedia Metadata
Image Analysis and Content Based Image Retrieval
Audio & Sound Analysis
Video Information Systems
Multimedia Databases
Exam
Students enrolled in the course have to participate actively (solve a few mandatory exercises and discuss results within the course) and have to do a course project (in small groups) and a presentation of the project within the semester. Grades are based on:
1/3 participation
1/3 project
1/3 presentation
Possible projects will be listed within the next weeks. Furthermore students can suggest projects themselves. One example for a successful projects is the image mosaic feature in the Lire Demo (see here). Programming skills are required for the projects, the scope and language however are subject to discussion and can be chosen by the groups.
